About this listen

An intensely dark, gripping thriller from the bestselling author of My Little Brother

Sometimes your past just won't let go...

As a heatwave grips the country, DS Jenna Morgan is called to a domestic incident at the home of a young family in Ironbridge.

Pregnant Imelda Cheetham-Epstein has been found unconscious by her husband, Zak, with serious head injuries.

When Jenna arrives on the scene, she discovers something even more disturbing – the couple's eleven-month-old son, Joshua, is missing and the race against time begins to find him.

Is this an accident or something more sinister?

Are the two incidents linked?

Or has something in the Cheetham-Epsteins' past caught up with them?

The fourth thrilling instalment in the DS Jenna Morgan series, perfect for fans of Cara Hunter.

I’ll start by saying this was my least favorite of the DD Jenna Morgan series. I like to be kept guessing and the suspense just wasn’t there. However, it’s well written and wonderfully narrated. The author builds her characters up well. While it wasn’t the best of the 4, I’d still recommend the whole series!

Satisfying end to the series

What an amazing story line! I have enjoyed this entire series. This book felt completely new and different and fresh. I can’t wait for whatever comes next!

Even if you think you know, you don’t know!

I’ve been hooked since the first book. Ms. Saxon mixes in enough personal lives of her detectives into a suspenseful story to keep the reader guessing, while routing for our favorite couples and their progress. The characters are so human and flawed and relatable that you can imagine hanging out with them and get a quick cuddle in with Domino while you’re there. I can’t wait for the next book.

Can’t get enough of DS Morgan!

as much as I love this author and her books, in this story it was a little difficult waiting for the main characters to catch up to what became so obvious to the listener. This author does have a way with words and descriptive detail. That makes the stories easy to read and/or listen to and enjoy.

This story was great! The twist toward the end was so unexpected, it took awhile to grasp what happened. Couldn’t stop listening!

Excellent twist!

Always a pleasure to read the goings on of DI Morgan & Co! Was able to guess the twist fairly early on but no less enjoyable.

Always a pleasure!

This book was not as captivating as the previous two in this series.
I don’t want to reveal anything for those who have yet to read this book.
But, something’s where pretty obvious to who and what was going on early in the book.
Absolutely loved the narration.
Overall it is worth the money and the time to listen or read.

The twist in this story became evident to me early on, so I felt it was too long. Waaayyy to much detail on baby nappies. Love this narrator.
